About this book

God has already stepped into this day before you.

Some days bring joy.

Others bring difficult diagnoses, lonely nights, unanswered prayers, and tears we never expected to shed.

No matter what kind of day you are living, God has already stepped into it before you.

This Day is a collection of thirty heartfelt devotions drawn from true stories of faith, love, loss, hope, and unexpected grace. Written from years of serving as a hospice chaplain and pastor, each reading gently reminds us that God rarely asks us to carry tomorrow’s burdens today. Instead, He faithfully meets us with fresh mercy, sufficient strength, and daily bread for the moment we are living right now.

Whether you are facing illness, caring for someone you love, grieving a loss, or simply searching for hope in a difficult season, these pages invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and discover that even here, God is present.
